    just an update: sorry late post

     

    interview date: February  12, 2020

    we arrived in the building 1 hour early but we entered the USCIS premises 30 minutes before our interview at 12:45pm

     

    we’re not approved on the spot the IO told us that our case needs a further review eventhough she’s telling us that our application looks good to her. First we need to take the oat, and after that she asked me about anything in the Form I-485 and then signed. She also asked the “Yes or No” questions and then the crazy part is that she told us that whenever she ask a question, she will look to any of us and that person where’ she’s looking needs to answer her question ended us laughing because we’re like in a game show😂 but that was tough so better review everything about your spouse, their family and special events on your life as a couple. She told us that if do we have any document to submit and we submitted our health insurance, joint bank statements, car insurance, life insurance, bills with our name together, copy of 401K as beneficiary, credit card statement with my name as supplementary, lot’s of photos of us together from the day of my K-1 visa approval to Feb 2020. She also asked my husband’s income tax return but we’re not filing yet instead we handed to her the W2. She browse our photo and asking who’s with us on a certain photos and she encircled the photo with my husband’s parents.

     

    She also asked us about if do we have a joint lease? we said no because we’re still living in an apartment with my husband’s parents.

    Are we paying a rent? 

    how much is the rent?

    any plans of moving out?

    how many rooms and bathrooms does our apartment have?

    how many persons in a household?

    Do we have an engagement ring?

    Where did you propose?

    do you have a ring?

    When did we get married?

    Where?

    Who’s in the ceremony?

    Reception where?

    have you seen your parents-in-law?

    where are they?

    what are their names?

    favorite restaurant?

    future plans together?

    i forgot the others sorry

     

    Interview last for about 45 minutes and after the interview, she gave us a paper about the Removal of Conditions and the 3 of us signed that paper. No approval so we left the building quite puzzled 😂

     

     

    and after 37 days

     

    March 19, 2020:   New Card is Being Produced

    March 20, 2020:   Case was Approved

    March 24, 2020:   Card was Mailed to me

    Still no word from our interview on Feb 20, I feel like once they put you on hold, you never hear from them again. Feeling depressed about more living in the dark when we were so close to the finish line. :(

    You are not alone @MeghanK, same thing here we had our interview last Feb. 12 everything went well but the IO told us that she needs further review though she always told us that our paper looks good to her 😏 no RFE in the mail, no case update online still “Interview was Scheduled” and its been a month now 

    First Time Filing Taxes with K1

    Like many right now, I'm filing for the first time in a K1 situation.  I've read through a lot of threads trying to understand what's required of me to stay on the right side of the law.   I'm seeking a little reassurance that I've interpreted what I've read correctly.  Thanks in advance to those that review/provide guidance.  VJ in general has been a lifesaver in this long, rewarding, and sometimes trying process.

     

    My Situation: 

    • My fiance arrived to the US in August 2019 and we married later that month, so she does not pass the substantial presence test.   Currently going through AOS.
    • She made Zero income in 2019 (either in the US or her native country).    
    • She has her SSN since September 2019

     

    Proposed Tax Filing:

    • Based on what I've read in this forum, MFJ  (vs MFS) is likely the way to go to minimize income eligible for taxes by $24K.       
    • There's no need to complete IRS Form 2555 as there was no foreign income earned, or alternatively, state on that form $0 income earned.
    • Include joint declaration paper letter from my wife and I that we were married at the end of tax year 2019 to be treated as US residents for the entire tax year (per IRC6013 (g))
    • Must file via Mail as e-filing in my situation isn't possible (even though personally preferred)

     

    Please let me know if I've missed anything glaring.  Sincere thanks and good luck to all...

    same situation here but I arrived in the US May 2019 and married June 2019 so i passed the presence test and i have an income in Canada that i need to declare here as foreign income when my husband filed his taxes, please enlighten me VJ members on what should we do? because I also need to file my taxes in Canada, should I declare my Canadian income here in the US when my husband and I filed our taxes MFJ though I’m unemployed until now? 

     

    thank you

    I am confused.

     

    I had my interview today.

     When our interviewer called me, as I walked up to him with my wife I started a joke with him immediately and we all chatted and laughed through the hallway to his office.

     

    When we got to his office the guy just had us take the oath, we cracked jokes for a while then he went straight to ask me the YES/NO questions in the I-148.

     

    He made some changes on the application and had me sign on the changes.

    Next he asked for any supporting joint documents that we had.I gave it to him and he filed it.

     

    He never asked any personal questions or anything about our life.

     

    Then gave us a printout to acknowledge we came for the interview.then said even though the letter says it takes 120days to hear from them we would hear from them with 2-6 weeks and that was it.

     

    I felt it was strange.He didn't ask for any of the things listed on the invitation letter.I went home with all the paperworkworks.

     

    Is it normal???

    Hi is the printout that they handed to you states about the removal of conditions? or different than that? we had our interview today and she didn’t tell us if we’re approve or not she just handed us a paperwork about removal of conditions signed but both of us and the IO.

     

    thank you and Congratulations 🎉

    How do I know that my DS 3025 is "complete"? Attached is what the check boxes on my DS3025 look like. Does the box "K visa application voluntarily completed vaccination requirements" below have to be checked to avoid i693? I have all the vaccination requirements (above) fulfilled I think. Would USCIS have RFE'ed me regarding my DS 3025 if it wasn't complete? Help!63785079_ScreenShot2020-01-12at6_15_27PM.thumb.png.e5ff73791ef662b58fab8059a41d67b4.png
     

    correct me if I’m wrong, i checked my DS-3025 and i had a Tdap vaccine which I think is the vaccination requirement instead of Td

    That will give you a processing time range and a "Receipt date for a case inquiry". The "Receipt date for a case inquiry" is not when they are working now, it's the latest date that's officially outside of normal processing times. And the processing time range is from when they expect ~50% of cases to be acted on to when they expect ~90% of cases to be acted on.

     

    To give an example here - at the San Diego field office, the "Receipt date for a case inquiry" is Feb 10, 2018 as I type this. Our NOA1 date was April 11, 2019, but our interview was September 25 (a month less than the lower end of the 6.5-20.5 month range listed for family-based AOS) and Anastasia has had her green card since October 2.

    Hi, i’m from SD also i just want to know how long did it take “from Ready to be scheduled to Interview Scheduled” here in SD filed office? still waiting for my interview schedule, thank you!

    Hello VJ's,

     

    Good day, i just want to ask if upon filing the I-485 should i includ evidence like photos of our wedding ceremony, joint acoount bank statement of I and my spouse or any other evidence and also about the Advance Parole should i really need to file it together with I-485 and EAD? i have no plans of going out in the US so might as well not to file an AP?  thank you
